4 stars I feel like you can’t not like Mo Willems’ books. They’ll at least bring a little smile to your face.Another silly story starring your favorite pigeon. As always, the pigeon is very funny and entertaining. These are such engaging books. I love reading them, by myself and with the children I work with….

2 stars This is a pretty good book for beginning readers who like Frozen. The thing I didn’t like about the book was that there wasn’t really a story or plot. It just went through Anna’s friends and a few scenes from the movie. The illustrations were cute, but again, they didn’t really tell a…

2 stars To my knowledge, this is the first Olivia book I have read. I have heard of them and worked with a kid who enjoyed the show, so when I saw this in the Little Free Lending Library, I figured I’d give it a try. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it…

4 stars I’m a little conflicted about this one. It’s a fun, entertaining, hilarious, engaging book, but in the past week, I’ve read it over and over again with a few 3-5-year-olds and now they all love to say how bored they are. But I still think it’s a great book, because any book that…

3 stars A nice story about a clever mouse outwitting a hungry weasel. The book consists of a larger story and four short stories within it. It was an interesting set-up and made the book entertaining. Good illustrations with nice detail. Some of the pages are a bit text-heavy. This book is recommended as a…

3 stars I’d never heard of Twin Magic before finding this in the Little Free Lending Library. I was intrigued by the cover so I picked it up. It was kind of weird and definitely not what I was expecting, but I could see how children would enjoy it (especially those who like glitter). It…

3 stars Wow, this book is overwhelming! This is a Loop Book, which means you read it one way, then turn it around and flip backwards to finish the story. This is a very creative way to tell a there-and-back-again story. The pictures in this book are very busy. Proceed with caution! No lie, I…

5 stars I really enjoyed this book. It is obvious from page one that G. M. Berrow has a connection to the show. I hate reading books based on TV show characters where the author doesn’t know the first thing about the characters, history, and environment of the show and you’re left with characters who…

4 stars I put off starting this series for so long, because I was nervous how it would stack up against Shannon Hale’s book series (which I loved). I finally broke down and got a copy from the library.I was not disappointed.This is a very well-written book. A unique struggle, characters true to the show,…

3 stars This is a hard one for me to rate. There were things I liked and things I didn’t like. I didn’t know anything about this book going into it. I have seen the cover and heard the title in various bookish escapades, but never read the summary. I saw a copy of the…
